3 Lopatcong Businesses Burglarized By Men In Stolen Chevy SUV: Police

LOPATCONG, NJ - Three Lopatcong-area businesses were burglarized last week by two men in a stolen vehicle, authorities said.

At around 4 a.m. on Dec. 29, Lopatcong police responded to Good Guy Vapes (201 Strykers Road) for a reported activated burglar alarm, the Warren County Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement. An investigation later found that two men had forced entry into Good Guy Vapes and adjacent properties Italy Restaurant and Pizza and No. 1 China Restaurant in the same strip mall.

Around $3,000 was stolen from Good Guy Vapes; $5,300 from Italy Restaurant and Pizza and $300 from No. 1 China Restaurant, the prosecutor’s office said.

Surveillance footage shows two men wearing dark clothing, gloves and face coverings during the burglaries, the prosecutor’s office said.
